Fair comment.

Russia?

British women had to wait until 1919...

Unable to attend? They accept direct donations and subscriptions. My modest £10 a month is one of the best uses of my money that I can think of.

Sigh... just so.

That would totally work....

"How we ate in the 1950s, even before hyperprocessing, was far from exemplary."

Brits too. Vegetables had to be boiled for at least half an hour. And meat cooked so long you needed a hammer and chisel to cut it up.

Oh, I get that...

But with Parma ham and mushroom mixed in, Parmesan on the top.... done that and it's grand.

Some cream in the cheese sauce.... never tried that...

Bugger, I've made myself hungry.... 🙂

2/2 ... and to see them as otherwise, seems to me to be something that only a person (ok, 'man') who has no thought but for their own sexual desires could possibly feel.

I mean, I've done stuff. I've done stuff I can't even spell (Thank you, Spike), but, Jesus, that's repellent....

I was sitting in a traffic jam close to the local school this afternoon - lots of 13-16 yr old girls, milling about and doing what 13-16 yr old girls and, sure, some were really pretty and you could see, in them, the women they were going to be.

Pen's a cheese fiend, so we have it every couple of weeks. Super-quick and cheap. Never seen the boxed stuff over here but you used to be able to get it in cans. Probably pretty disgusting but I lived on them for my 1st Uni term, when I was totally clueless about actual cooking....
